Adam Wallacavage – “Dreamhome Heartaches”/ While I Was Reading
March 28, 2011 § Leave a comment
Photographer and cephalopod-centric chandelier maker, Adam Wallacavage, has, in part, made a tentative tentacle departure for his current exhibition, now showing at the Corey Helford Gallery, Culver City. Dreamhome Heartaches sees the addition of handcrafted, antler-crowned elk skull chandelier, formed with customary epoxy clay/cast plaster joining the ranks of the octopus optics. His signature glaze of secret components ensure this inanimate animal retains a shiny coat.
The exhibition is showing from March the 19th – April the 6th.

And so it was, as I delved into the Wonderful World of Mr. Wallacavage, that I came across these two tasty treats from his blog, explanatorily subtitled “My photography and random things I like and stuff.”
Garry L. Newkirk – OPIUM DEN San Francisco
This is an excerpt from “The Musee Mecanique presents the Zelinsky Collection” DVD that I made in 2002. It’s available at museemecaniquesf.com and Pier45 or The Cliff House – Mr. Newkirk.
And now this:
I don’t know what this is about anymore. I suppose when I feel this way, it’s best to look at something pointless..yet saturated…funny. This is the photo I thought of when I thought “over saturated.” I shot this in my dining room… – Mr. Wallacavage.

Stefan Faehler – “Kill Fink”

“You’re a sick fuck, Fink.”
Here we have a rather striking imagining of the titular character from my favourite film by the brothers Coen, Barton Fink. Created by Stefan Faehler and showing at the upcoming Spoke Art exhibition, Quentin Vs Coen, at New York’s Bold Hype Gallery from the 7th – 9th of April. Remaining work will be available to purchase online through the Spoke Art shop.
Jason Eisener’s “Hobo With A Shotgun” Trailer/ “Treevenge”
March 12, 2011 § Leave a comment
“They’re all brand new and perfect…” Beware, urban scum, for vigilante-hobo, Rutger Hauer, is on your case with a shotgun and a severe bout of existential disaffection. All he wants is a lawnmower to make the city pretty, but the dregs of society push him too far. So far, in fact, that Hobo takes the law – and lawnmower-replacement shotgun – into his own hands, blasting away said urban scum with more gusto than Kim and Aggie with non-branded disinfectant.
UK release date is July 22nd 2011. In the meantime, here’s a taster of Eisener’s take on bloody revenge when Christmas trees get pushed too far in his precursor short, Treevenge.
Mister Modo & Ugly Mac Beer – Music Library (Vinyl)
March 4, 2011 § Leave a comment
In the wonderful world of vinyl cover art, it’s far from uncommon to experience the unfortunate disparity that occurs when style overcomes substance. However, such is happily not the case with Beat Squeeze’s new release, Music Library – an aptly-titled “funky and synthetic library tracks compilation,” selected by Mister Modo and Ugly Mac Beer. In addition to the frankly glorious retro-future sci-fi artwork on the sleeve, the high-quality funky European 70s sounds have been picked to delight the ears of vintage groove fans. And here’s a snippet:
